Skepticism about climate change has resurfaced, as some experts claim the exact causes of global warming remain unclear and that the policies addressing it are motivated more by money than by science.
Richard Lindzen, Professor Emeritus of Meteorology at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), has spent decades studying atmospheric science. He told the Daily Mail that the public hysteria surrounding global warming isn't actually based on realistic data.
Climate change is the term used to describe Earth's warming, mainly as a result of human activity, such as burning coal, oil and gas.
Scientists and climate activists have warned that this extra warmth could cause more extreme storms, rising seas that flood cities, and hotter summers that make it harder to grow food worldwide - all within the next 25 years.
However, Lindzen said the financial implications of controlling the multi-trillion-dollar energy industry have been the true motivation for politicians to support flawed research that argues small temperature increases will lead to immediate disasters.
'The fact that you have a multi-trillion dollar industry and you have an opportunity to completely overturn it had a great appeal to a lot of politicians,' he explained. 'They go wild on it. Another half degree and we're doomed, and so on. The public knows this is nonsense.'
Lindzen explained the basic math behind what he called 'climate alarm.' He said the emphasis on lowering specific emissions like carbon dioxide (CO₂) simply doesn't produce the worldwide temperature changes advocates say it will.

Hey! Who knew Captain Obvious was a college professor?
The Climate Hysteria DAM IS DEFINITELY BREAKING! Let’s see how quickly the collapse spreads.
Water is wet and cats are nuts.

No, he’s been standing up against this for many years.
When it really heated up, I put a mesh cover over my garden....and removed when it cooled down. The big thing is still "feeding"....water and fertilizer.
“Professor Emeritus”
Only a guy they can’t screw over can say this in public.
Well, he’s 50 years late to the party but, c’mon in.
No, he’s been standing up against this for many years.

Thanks for saying that. Lindzen et al. have been fighting all along, in the face of overwhelming opposition, to point out the foolishness of this attack on CO2 in the atmosphere.
It’s a trace gas (0.043)%, plant food, necessary for life. They worship the god of climate nonsense; politics, masquerading as science.
He’s one of the people who signed the ‘Heidelberg Appeal’:

True.
Lots of countries sign up thinking they’ll get tons of free cash ,LOL
In a single word SOLYNDRA
Can't blame them.
China? They're just trying to screw over the West.
I can sort of understand that due to the Opium Wars even though it was a long time ago, they did not forget.
I’ve thought this for years:
Cat says “meow”..
Dog says “woof”.
Cow says “moo”.
Bird says “tweet”.
Human says “I want money”.
“Lots of countries sign up thinking they’ll get tons of free cash ,LOL”
Yes - It’s a welfare program for third world despots.
You need to break the link between money and climate change.
The left managed to monetize climate change with crap like carbon offsets, subsidies, grants, etc. Once NASA, the EPA and others don’t get a “budget” tied to this climate change nonsense, they might actually become objective.
Of course it’s just about the money.
Once you decouple the financial incentives from climate change, watch that house of cards fall.
One of the most important FACT of SCIENCE that is never mentioned is air, water and soil temperatures that either inhibit or foster SEED GERMINATION and YOUNG PLANT STAGE support until maturity.
It is ALWAYS the warmer, the better. Of course temperatures to molten lava would inhibit plant life. So does too low cold temperatures.
Show of hands- who didn’t know this already?
